A Concrete Conversation with Ilana Freadman
Led by Ilana Freadman and Michael White, Freadman White embeds a curiosity-driven and experientially charged tension in its architecture. Seeking to reveal beauty in seemingly simple and often overlooked settings, they strive to create visually intriguing and emotionally resonant spaces.
Believing architecture’s mandate to making positive contributions to individual lives and the wider urban plan, Freadman White designs contextually informed structures with disciplined whimsy.
